1. Understanding the language.

2. Bringing my own experience to the story

3. Reading a poem 4 times...

4. Figuring out WHO is speaking.

5. Reading a poem to find the answer

For number one they talk about the different meanings of the language and i usually don't see that. Number 2 is more of a personal thing... I have never actually related myself to  to a poem or in other words "put my self in my shoes." I never like to read a poem  multiple times, once i read it I get the meaning. But the way they talked about how each time you read the poem you will learn more from it and understand it better. For number my 4 I wrote down WHO in capital letters because I always figure out who they are speaking to, but not WHO is speaking. And lastly number 5 is about going back after a read a poem and rereading the section to find the answer. I always just choose the one i think is best, but if I go back and reread it will help be correct.

First test of the school year

As i was taking the diagnostic test i was reminded about how i love to analyze poetry and literature. The test was very easy to take and gave me much hope about the AP English Literature class i am enrolled in in the fall! There was a part about the history literature which I surprisingly found to be more intriguing then i would have thought it. The thing that got me down a little were the essays not because i can't do them, just because they are not fun to structure and plan out. Though i do enjoy writing. Overall it was a nice first test of the school year and weirdly enjoyed taking.
